Change of Seasons

Last day of holiday! School begins tomorrow.. Last Semester!

For the past week I have been catching up with the movies that I've missed back when they were out in cinemas.. Not that I would actually watched them when they were out in cinemas..  Cos my group of friends are a funny bunch.. We dont even watch movies together.. I really cant explain why.. But yst was an exception.. Finally watched Transformers 3! I really feared for the worst, that is waiting for the movie to be ready for download..

So in my "movie marathon" there were a few okay ones, like "Life as we know it" and "Faster".. Then there were the really bad ones like "The American" and "Buried".. There were the slightly better ones also, like "Easy A", "The Fighter" and "Social Network"..

The okay ones are the typical hollywood movies.. You know how the story unfolds or your typical movie with big names that makes it barely watchable. "Faster" featured "The Rock", so it was the typical action movie.. Guns n cars n chics n stuff plus it's The Rock.. Watchable..

The really bad ones like "Buried" or "127 hours".. OMFG! Really bad.. "Buried" is super budget to the max.. The story is abt this American guy captured n wakes up finding himself buried alive in a coffin underground.. And the whole movie just focuses on the freaking coffin.. Even when he's talking to a US agent who told him they took down his captors, they din even show a single gun shot or action that showed a US marine team taking down his captors.. Basically in short, the only face you see is the guy in the coffin.. The only scene you see is the coffin.. That's all.. For whole freaking 1.5hrs.. I was really shocked by how bad this movie was.. Plus the actor, is Ryan Reynolds, the guy who played Green Lantern.. I'm surprised he took on such a lousy movie.. For the money I guess..

Then there were the slightly better ones like "Love and other drugs".. It was nice to see Anne Hathaway's naked boobs.. Frankly, cos I think she looks damn pretty.. But that wasnt the whole reason why I felt it was a slightly better movie.. It was the story that really captivated me.. Hathaway plays a pretty lady with Parkinson's disease while the lead actor is this typical Playboy who sleeps around and never had a serious r/s, bla bla bla..

In short, they got together even though they said they were gonna be just friends with benefits.. Then the guy becomes rich and famous cos he started selling viagra for his pharmaceutical company.. (The movie is supposedly in the 90s where Viagra hasnt been developed yet) And problems start to develop in their r/s as the guy is afraid of the girl's Parkinson's disease getting worst.. They broke up for awhile cos of that and in the end got back together.. Yea typical ending..

So the question that came up in my mind was, would you fall for a partner that has a incurable disease? I think parkinson's disease would be a good example.. Since there are different stages.. The first stage according to the movie is like, the person would have some difficulty sometimes to open a bottle for e.g cos of their uncontrollable shaking.. Then there are the stages four to five where again, according to the movie.. The person cant even control their bladder.. And you start cleaning their shit n urine..

So say you feel in love with this person, like really, click on every level with the person.. But that person has level 1 parkinson's.. Knowing it will only get worse, would you still wanna be with that person??

Honestly, I dunno what I would do.. I mean I've experienced cleaning up shit and urine from my grandpa last time.. I know how it feels.. N it's not like they are gonna make a shit mess when you are relaxed and at your best mood.. It will probably happened when you are so shag, deprived of sleep, in the worst mood possible, and you still gotta clean up shit.. SHIT.. not spilled water or milk where there's no smell.. Freaking shit!

FYI, in the movie, the main actor asked this other older guy for advice cos the older guy's wife has parkinson's as well.. The older guy said, if he had a chance to do it all over again, he wouldnt have gone down that road.. He said dont be mistaken, he loves his wife, but it's too much for him..

So I really dunno.. Cos I know I cannot take it, but then again, if she's my whole world, I would think I'm able to do it.. But then again, wld it be too much for me??

Anyway, love this song I heard when I watched "Easy A"..
